FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2026

HOURS: 11:00am - 7:00pm

We will be offering 5 free comics per person, and also have guests and sales!

Costumes are encouraged!

Parking will be challenging, because everyone loves free comics. To maintain safety and comfort, capacity will be carefully limited, so there will a line to get in for the first few hours. Consider parking at Weaver Park, on side streets, or being dropped off. Please carpool if you are able!
